Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.
Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.
Make your plans today
'Fore the evening's on
Or you'll end up
Racing with the sun.
Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.
Make your plans today
'Fore the evening's on
Or you'll end up
Racing with the sun.
In Chinese Man's song, "Racing with the Sun," the lyrics convey a message of urgency and importance in completing one's daily tasks and making plans for the future. The repetition of "Get your day's work done" serves as a reminder to listeners to focus on their responsibilities in the present moment before time slips away. The warning "Or soon you'll be racing with the sun" suggests that time is constantly moving forward, and those who do not keep up will find themselves struggling to catch up.
Additionally, the lyrics advise making plans for the future "before the evening's on" or else risk being left behind. This can be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging listeners to be proactive and intentional about their goals and aspirations. Overall, the song's message is one of mindfulness and purposeful living, encouraging listeners to make the most of their time and take control of their futures.

"You have power and money, but you are mortal
You know you cannot escape death
But immortality can be obtained
*The legend is always the same
If others have succeed in conquering death
Why must we accept it?
I know where the immortals live
And how to obtain their secret
We too must become wise men
The elements of chemistry are many, but finite
So are the techniques of enlightenment* "
